“The David Goldstein Show” tonight on News/Talk 710-KIRO

7PM: The Stranger Hour with Josh Feit and Erica C. Barnett The Stranger’s Josh Feit and Erica C. Barnett join us for the hour for our regular look back at the week’s news, and a peek ahead toward what’s coming up. Josh will give his take on the start of the new legislative session, while Erica grades the new Seattle City Council. But first, strategist, blogger, pundit James Boyce calls in with his analysis on today’s results from Nevada and New Hampshire.

9PM: More liberal propaganda. Should smoking be banned when kids are in the car? Is Bush’s economic stimulus package a classic example of small government, free market conservatism? Is the US a torturer?

Tune in tonight (or listen to the live stream) and give me a call: 1-877-710-KIRO (5476).

I WILL NOT vote for fucking John McCain for preznit. Amnesty, supressing free speech, gang of 14, global warming, gitmo, class warfare opposition to tax cuts, waterboarding… it goes on and on. This fucking asshole is unAmerican and unfit to be anywhere near the white house.

If he’s GOP nominiee, I will leave the selection blank. I’ll work on re-electing Dino for the 4th fucking time. The only thing I can hang onto is the fact that The Worst President of the 20th Century made President Reagan possible. I’ll write off the next 4 years and hope the republic can survive an unprecedented attack of marxism. After a few million people have died, and the “misery index” reaches unprecedented heights, maybe the country will come to its fucking senses.

Troll, you are being a silly fool. I agree smoking in a car with a child is wrong, but there are degrees of wrong. To put it in Catholic terms, there are venal and mortal sins. Recognize the difference.

Bravo to Cathy Sorbo and her fellow elephanista for looking out for the good of the Woodland Park Zoo elephants. I’m horrified to learn what’s going on at the zoo. I hope these poor creatures will be able to leave their tiny, boring 1-acre yard and go to the wonderful 2700 acre Elephant Sanctuary.

Smoking in a car with a child in it is child abuse. I have nothing but contempt for adults who abuse their children. Something tells me either Jane’s parents used to abuse her in that manner, or she abused her children.

Great show! Thank you David Goldstein to have my favorite comedian Cathy Sorbo and her guest to enlighten us about the plight of elephants at Woodland Park Zoo. It is so arrogant to have these majestic animals in jail so to speak when they could roam freely at this sanctuary in Tennessee. I am glad you are helping them sound the alarm to help these beautiful elephants be set free. Claudine E.

Economic stimulus? What economic stimulus? There ain’t gonna be no economic stimulus. That’s because Bush wants to give another $50 billion of tax breaks to business — and not a fucking penny of food stamps or unemployment benefits to those hurt by his economic policies.

I read in the papers that we might get an $800 tax rebate ($1,600 for couples), although it’s more likely to be $500 ($1,000 for couples). They want people to go out and buy stuff with it to stimulate the economy. I ain’t gonna buy nothin’ with it. That isn’t even enough to make up for inflation over the last year. That’s where my tax rebate will go: To inflation. And because it’ll be financed by more borrowing it will, of course, cause even more inflation and therefore I’ll need another tax rebate for THAT inflation — before I go out and buy any stuff.

Speaking of which, it’s been over 6 years now since 9/11, and why isn’t that guy caught yet? I mean how fucking hard can it be to catch a 6’6″ dude with a long beard and a towel around his head who carries a kidney machine wherever he goes? Don’t you get the feeling they want him to get away? Because he’s worth a lot more to the Pukes in Pakistan than dead? Don’t you think that, in this era of laser guided bombs, they could blow his ass away in the outhouse if they really wanted to?

Which sorta reminds me of Three O’Clock Charlie, the VC who lobbed a mortar round over a U.S. hilltop firebase in Nam at 3 p.m. every day, which always exploded harmlessly on the far side of the hill. The base commander threatended to court-martial anyone who shot Charlie.

@9 Actually, I don’t much care what they do to real terrorists — if they can catch any. What annoys me is what they do to innocent people. The Busheviks are too fucking incompetent to torture a real terrorists. Mostly they just arrest and torture the innocent because it’s easier.

@32 Well K count up the casualties. Cigarette smoking killed 435,000 Americans last year. And millions more around the world. And that’s just a single year. You can decide how this death count is comparable to the Holocaust.

Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer. 97% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. Compared to tobacco, crack, heroin and all other illegal drugs combined don’t kill enough people to even move the scale. Yet the illegal drug dealer is a scumbag while the local grocery store that sells tobacco is considered a respectable business.

@38- Come on now. If you insist smoking in the car with your kid is equivalent with killing millions of innocent, then you are responsible for right wingnuts taking control of the US government because too many people speed.

“The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them. It’s time we had a president who stands up for all of you.” – Hilary Clinton, January 8 2008 New Hampshire primary victory speech.

Cathy Sorbo doesn’t have a clue about what she is talking about. Perhaps all zoo elephants worldwide should be sent back to India or Africa where poachers can shoot them. The grandkids can always go to a museum to find out what elephants looked like. And there would be a really good supply of ivory.

Given the choice between some of the presidential candidates, maybe the Woodland Park Zoo elephants should run for public office. Of course they would have to be Republicans.

I am not voting for Hillary based on her war support. But you have got to be insane to go after her for her corporate support.

GWB, your hero, is so owned by Texas oil he should have a derrick on top of his head. You people are so shamelessly hypocritical. You claim the democrats will create a police state, then the Republicans create one.

Jesus H, if the gubmint tattoos a number on your forearm, the only thing you would be concerned about is that they put an “R” in it, not a “D”.

Hubris filled Pelletizer – poster of much flatulence and headless lucy – avoved racist and capitalism hater have posted over and over all the “CEOs” and others who “supported” GWB. I see you are a believer too.

So I post the REAL facts about Hilary and you say tit for tat? Huh? These facts overload your mind?

Oh and the police state. Remember the Fairness Doctrine? Remember the 1900 Progressive Movement Hilary wants to go back to? Are you an American History Moron like Eugenics_Project(YLB)?

Here’s a thought…I’ll have the staff sergeant fix it up for you to be specially deputized to catch him. The staff sergeant is Airborne qualified, so he can call a bud or two and have you qualifed at Ft. Benning’s jump school in nothing flat.

Then you can get equipped with plenty of weapons and ordnance – you pick, sky’s the limit, just no handbag guns – MRE’s for as long as you need, GPS and night vision gear, maps of Eastern Pakistan, name and number of the one friendly area tribal leader, and a drop on ObL’s cell phone luds over the past year.

Then you can either rappel out of a Blackhawk or drop from a Chinook anywhere you wish as you start your hunt.

Beyond that, you’re on your own.

Before you leave, though, please advise as to next of kin and where you’d like your remains, what little of them there will be, sent.

Oh…if you encounter him, don’t forget to read him his Miranda rights first or else all of left-wing America will hate your for violating his Constitutional rights. And make sure you take a copy of his indictment and a warrant for his arrest so you won’t get all caught up like Bill Clinton’s gang did afraid to take a shot at him because it might be perceived as “illegal.”

You can start this minute by shouting, “Hooah!” at the top of your lungs 10-times.
